Featured Designer (and giveaway!): Violette Field Threads

We just LOVE Violette Field Threads designs for their unique fashion sense, classic looks and darling photography. See our selection of patterns Violette Field Threads patterns and kits here.

Ericka and Jessica of Violette Frield Threads

Ericka and Jessica of Violette Field Threads both love to sew. Ericka started to sew as a teenager while Jessica’s husband bought her a sewing machine 10 years ago. But their passion really ignited when they began creating clothing for their daughters Cairo and Scarlett. ﻿

The name, "Violette Field Threads," combined a few ideas. “Violette” is the name of an imagined girl who would be drawn to classy, feminine, and fashionable patterns. “Field” is a term that speaks to the natural, outdoor photography that sets the company apart in its promotional materials. Lastly, “Threads” is about clothing and sewing.
﻿﻿
Speaking of beautiful photography, Jessica does about 75 percent of the photos featuring her daughter Scarlett and Ericka’s daughter Cairo. Violette Field Threads also borrows nieces and friends to mix up the looks. Sometimes, the company sends their clothing to other photographers to use on their models/locations just to keep things interesting and fresh.

Two of Ericka and Jessica's favorite designs include Chloe and Whitney. Here's why:

The Chloe is the perfect party dress! It was so much fun to create because we drew inspiration from 1950s formal dresses. The photo shoots were some of our favorite to-date because the dress allows for over-the-top syling!

The Whitney pants started out as an idea to classic, tailored women's trousers and make them appropriate for children. The pants we ended up with are our favorite - they are so stylish and sophisticated! Our girls are lavished with compliments whenever they wear them, but (believe it or not) they only take about an hour to create!

We are so happy to have had Ericka and Jessica join us here on The Shabby! Thank you, ladies!

I love them all, but if I have to choose one.....I would pick the Lucy pants because my little granddaughter would be so cute in them. But, I must add the Whitney pants are terrific. Oh, they all are. Thanks.

Hi Girls, Wow,I wish you would have been around when my girls were little. I had a hard time deciding, but I LOVE ruffles and think every little girl should wear them. My Granddaughters like them also so I think we will choose Lucy. Thank you so much! gmabmore@yahoo.com

Connie.Commented once, but not sure if I did it right, as far as you being able to contact me.I love them all...but the Lucy pants are probably my favorite...but I love all of them!connie.hopper@gmail.com

I have been looking and drooling over the Molly jacket for sometime. I would love to make it for my two lovely granddaughters. I made them the Emmiline dress last summer and they are their favorite dresses. Renee at bascom8@msn.com

They are all so CUTE!! It's really a toss up between the ChleoDress and Lucy's Pants. I love them both. Does the pant patterns Include the tops too? Look forward to seeing and buying many more of yourPatterns. Thank you for your giveaway. That's very generous of you both.

I LOVE the "Molly" jacket, I can just see my neice in it! We enjoy going out to eat together and she loves to dress up with auntie when we do, this jacket would be perfect for her. The entire line is so unusual and just right for the little girls in our lives who are anxious to dress up and look just like their favorite adult.
